Antenna Array Synthesis and Failure Correction Using Differential Search Algorithm

الملخص EN

Differential search (DS) optimization algorithm is proposed for the synthesis of three different types of linear antenna array design examples.

The first group of examples is that DS algorithm is used to locate wide nulls on the linear antenna array patterns by controlling amplitude-only.

In these examples, sidelobe levels disposed to rise are also suppressed by using DS algorithm in the same optimization process.

In the second group of examples, individual nulls are placed with the help of DS algorithm by controlling the amplitude-only, phase-only, and position-only.

The last example is a linear antenna array failure correction example.

In order to tolerate the element failures, DS is employed to recalculate the amplitude values of the remaining intact elements of the antenna array.

The results show that DS is very capable to solve the linear antenna array optimization problems which have different characteristics.
